Grateful Dead - Samson And Delilah Live At The Copps Coliseum Hamilton Ontario Canada March 22 1990 Lyrics

1 Samson and Delilah (Live at Copps Coliseum, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, March 22, 1990) Lyrics[Instrumental]

[Verse 1]
Delilah was a woman, she was fine and fair
And ooh, she had good looks, God knows, and coal black hair
Delilah she gained old Samson's mind
When first he saw this woman, Lord, couldn't believe his mind
Delilah she climbed up on Samson's knee
Said "Tell me where your strength lies, if you please"
She spoke so kind, God knows, talked so fair
So Samson said, "Delilah, you cut off my hair
You can shave my head, clean as my hand
My strength come as natural as any old man"

[Chorus]
If I had my way
If I had my way
If I had my way
I would tear this whole building down

[Verse 2]
You read about Samson, all from his works
He was the strongest man that ever has lived on Earth
One day while Samson was walking along
Looked down on the ground he saw an old jaw bone
Stretched out his arm, God knows, chains broke like threads, yeah
When he got to move, ten thousand was dead
You might also like[Chorus]
If I had my way
If I had my way
If I had my way
I would tear this whole building down (Look out)

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Well now, Samson and the lion, they got in attack
Samson he crawled up on the lion's back
You read about this lion, he killed a man with his paws
Samson got his hands up around that lion's jaws
And he ripped that beast, God knows, he killed him dead
And the bees made honey in the lion's head

[Chorus]
If I had my way
If I had my way
If I had my way
I would tear this whole building down (Great God Almighty, talk to me)

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
If I had my way
If I had my way
If I had my way
I would tear this whole building down
[Outro]
If I had my way
If I had my way
If I had my way
I would tear this whole building down
I would tear this whole building down

If I had my way
If I had my way
If I had my way
I would tear this whole building down (That's all)
